Topped the bikes off with Stabil and fresh fuel today and then tucked them away and plugged them in for the winter. You can ride all year here if you really want, but for me it’s only enjoyable from late May to early October.

Drink as much of their coke, coffee and tea as you possibly can. Then start on the biscuits. Don't have a poo for a couple of day and then use their convenience, bog rolls aren't cheap these days.
